The future is waiting

I have been thinking about where to write for a long time. After all, I have only read it once, and maybe some deep meanings have not yet been understood.
This movie is suitable for watching in summer, and it has a refreshing feeling like a cool breeze blowing through.
Makoto is actually an ordinary girl who can't be more ordinary. Just like us watching a movie, she has relatives and friends, and her life is full of all kinds of small troubles and joys.
It was her sudden ability that made her extraordinary. When she just confirmed that she could travel through time, the surprise she showed, the pudding she ate, the exam paper that got full marks, and the fact that she got it just because she could sing ktv again and again. In fact, there is no need to accuse her of wasting her ability. This is just a full explanation. This is a simple girl whose life is full of wealth. She does not have much desire. She never seemed to think about buying lottery tickets or something. But, maybe it's just because she doesn't know that it's all limited.
It's like a huge pie fell from the sky, and I was always happy to eat it, only to realize that it was almost finished.
Besides, the most regretful thing Makoto has done with her ability is probably rejecting Qian Zhao again and again. I don't think it's incomprehensible either. When we were young, we might have more or less a few close friends of the opposite sex, and we usually fight and make trouble, but one day this status quo is broken, I am afraid we will all panic, and our relationship will go where to go. Makoto was just scared, she naively just wanted to maintain the moment, and now it was enough for her.
Because she didn't know that one day he would leave.
The same is true for Gongsuke, she worked hard to match, but watched her tragedy repeat itself on Gongsuke.
In fact, this is really very simple to say, but there is a truth that too many people can only understand after they have experienced it: people will leave, and it is precisely because of leaving that they can know how to cherish.
But Qian Zhao's identity really shocked me. For me, this is the real God's development, but it should be like this when I think about it. There is cause and effect. It was Qian Zhao who accidentally lost the device and could save Zhenqin. One life, if Qian Zhao knew all of this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be unhappy with the result.
However, when Makoto lost Chiaki, the regret and unwillingness at this time all turned into tears, and she said "it would be good if it happened at that time", which we often complain to ourselves. However, we may not have a chance to make up for it, but really can.
I found that the time point went back to the moment before I used my last chance, and "変わらないもの" sounded. I think this is the most tear-jerking moment in the movie. When we feel that it is impossible and there is no chance, we suddenly realize that it is still too late. At that moment, I think many people will cry with joy, and then run to complete those regrets.
Makoto finally sent Qian Zhao away. There may be regrets or loneliness, but at least they have worked hard, when the other knows or doesn't know.
[The future is to be っ て る. ]
[うん. すぐ行く. Go っていく. ]
It may be more appropriate for the story to break in this place, without arguing whether the two still have a chance to meet, and without discussing how long this relationship will last in the long river of time. Makoto is at her best age, her future has infinite possibilities, and most importantly, she knows that someone is waiting for her, as sung in Garnet, no matter what the future is, they are always special to each other.
For youth this may be enough.
